Periodontal treatment is usually not covered by basic health insurance. Through supplementary dental insurance, however, parts of the treatment are often reimbursed. Examples include the cost of a periodontal assessment, cleanings or consultations. The exact cover differs from one insurer and package to another. We recommend reading your policy conditions carefully or contacting your insurer. Some packages apply a maximum amount per year or per treatment. Your clinician can help you draw up an estimate for an application. Where costs are higher than usual, you may also want to ask about prior authorisation. Good preparation prevents disappointment later on. Health insurance policies change every year, so keep checking your cover annually.
